Lucy Mecklenburgh has posted pictures of a nasty injury she suffered on Channel 5's Tour De Celeb.

Speaking ahead of the new series, Lucy claimed that taking part in the show created a lot of "blood, sweat and tears".

And she wasn't wrong.

"ooo looking forward to reliving all my cycling memories tomorrow night," Lucy wrote on Instagram alongside a snap of her bloodied leg. “One of the toughest experiences of my life, two months to train for one of the hardest cycling races in the world!

“Piece of cake…Right!?!”

The TOWIE star is one of eight celebs who have signed up to tackle "the toughest physical and mental challenge on TV".

The four-part series kicked off last month and sees the all star celebrity contestants taking on the L’Etape du Tour in France.

Joining Lucy on the line up are model and TV presenter Jodie Kidd, Made In Chelsea's Hugo Taylor and England rugby legend Austin Healey.
